Faith at Work
REFLECTING A GOD WHO WORKS
WHAT IS FAITH AT WORK?
The gospel has unique power to renew hearts, communities, and the world, in and through our day-to-day work. Understanding how the gospel relates and shapes our work — both paid and unpaid — changes the way we approach it. Our daily work, when shaped by the gospel, becomes one of the primary expressions of love to God and our neighbor.

REDEMPTION AT WORK
As a Christian, you may have been told at some point "be ethical" or "do the right thing." But is there more to our faith than simply being ethical? What if the biblical pattern of redemption can reframe the way we think about how we run our companies and organizations?
Come join us to discuss how the beautiful story of redemption found in the book of Ruth can give us a deep understanding of this biblical idea, and how we can apply it to the way we lead and run organizations.

WORKPLACE PRAYER GUIDES
On any given day at work, we might experience a number of challenging situations — whether that's dealing with a difficult boss, getting overlooked for a promotion, or experiencing a sense of purposelessness in our work. That's why we've developed audio prayer guides that address a variety of situations, so that they can help you pray through the specific situation you're facing.
LEARN
The Faith at Work Cohort is a 11-week, in-depth course designed to help you explore how the gospel applies to all aspects of your work. We’ve designed this cohort to be both theoretical and practical. Theoretical in the sense that you’ll explore lots of ideas, many of which are probably new. Ideas like common grace, ethical decision-making frameworks, cultural and workplace renewal, and so on. But you’ll also see how these theoretical ideas have real-world implications. You’ll discuss real-life case studies, complete application assignments, and participate in workshops to help you think through how these ideas can play out in your specific context.
